lol. I have no idea what other guilds have actually since I haven't played them and I am generally off on my own. Hmmmm I guess if you don't want to have too much of the same they could just be self buffs running off our inner fire or concentration?

That's pretty much what the Dwaedn Wyr already have, shouts that buff themselves up. What your proposing sounds a little too 'mystical' to really fit in with the Mercenaries, at least from my point of view.

“There is always a choice." "You mean I could choose certain death?" "A choice nevertheless, or perhaps an alternative. You see I believe in freedom. Not many people do, although they will of course protest otherwise. And no practical definition of freedom would be complete without the freedom to take the consequences. Indeed, it is the freedom upon which all the others are based.”

I don't think you should retract the suggestion. I think something like this would work particularly well for buffing a party. Look at it like this: mercenaries are experienced soldiers that know how the morale of comrades can affect the outcome of a battle, thus they can release shouts of encouragement to increase morale. The increase in morale can buff party abilities temporarily. It makes sense.

That's the thing. There are already chants from Templar to boost morale, give temperary group buffs, Templar-to-Templar benefits, among other things.Although it would be amusing to see Spearhead and Kent letting rip with a battlecry during an event, it doesn't really seem to fit the "mercenary" image. At this point it would look like a copycat thing since like Rias said, Dwaedn and Templar have their battle rituals going already.

CHAT - Sir Alexander Candelori: Truly a man is an abomination that does not dip his french fries into his chocolate frosty.Bryce flatly says, "Just fair warning: If one of those things webs me, I'm going to scream like a girl."You overhear the following rumor:"There's an old man that can sometimes be seen walking around with a trunk, rumor has it he takes it to the stables and gets naked in front of the horses before changing clothes from the trunk."You think to yourself, "Who could that old man be?"

One or two guilds having a certain ability doesn't mean that other guilds can't. We have some whole guilds that are nothing but copied over abilities.

That said, it doesn't really fit mercenaries. I have plans on changing adrenaline rush so that it's an active with cooldown ability, instead of the passive one that it currently is, and change the way it works, but I think that's the closest mercs will get to shouts. I don't see them as an inspiring guild, rather as brutally efficient. And while they might have some berserker-like abilities, dwaedn shouts won't really fit in.

There are a few things I have in mind for mercenaries, but unfortunately it's hard to come up with combat abilities that are in line with the whole brutally efficient idea that aren't absurdly OP. So if you have ideas, feel free to keep posting them, but don't necessarily expect feedback on them (from me, you guys should discuss them all you want).

The way me working on a guild usually goes is I get it in my mind to work on something, and then I go through the boards and look for suggestions. Until then, I read through these sorts of posts, but often forget about them until I actually want something to work on. So don't feel like an ignored post is completely ignored, I guess is what I'm saying.
